The comparision was derpy, but the statement still holds water. This "enhanced edition" fixed almost no issues, that the original game had; added a bunch of unneeded stuff including DRM; AND it introduced a truckload of new bugs. Overhyped cashgrab 101. I hope Overhaul games sinks before they get to "enhance" PST (They're too far into BG2, so it will unfortunately get released).

AD&D is at best a mediocre RPG and a piss poor cRPG. Dropping it was a good idea.

Now if they had used something like the engine for ToEE that would be something else. Imagine the ToEE engine (better yet updated for Pathfinder) with the BG series setting and story. Squeee! But they did not have the license from Hasbro who seems to have decided to milk the last dregs of profit out of D&D and let it die.

Note that I have played D&D since 1976, just a couple years after it first came out.

Mages are the WEAKEST part of D&D, especially the older editions. They start out pathetically weak and then zoom past all the other classes in power. You can still have a lot of fun with a flawed game, we certainly have, but just because it is fun doesn't mean it is not terribly flawed.

BTW, I play in a D&D 3.5e group right now that has been together since 2000. I previously played A&D before that back to college in 1978 and earlier editions before that.

The earliest set we had had actual dice. They were lop sided, unbalanced, and made of plastic so soft you could carve it with your fingernails, though. We were really happy when gaming stores started selling the better dice.

He didn't say it couldn't be enjoyed. He just said it was mediocre, which is completely true. A good group can have fun no matter how awful the system is, and a bad group will be tedious no matter how good the system.
